Frontier

Particularly if you are a fan of Jason Momoa, this show is worth checking out. If you like seeing examples of colonial-era British forces getting stood up to, frontiersmen doing frontier stuff, First Nations tribesmen doing their best to survive against European encroachment, and cool looking costumes and settings, then it's worth checking out. It's not for the faint of heart, however. The fights are violent and bloody and there is plenty of torture and abuse of women and PoC by Europeans.

Frontier is so much better than I expected. While it's not the best show I've ever seen it's definitely one of the most underrated shows I've seen. Jason Momoa is absolutely fantastic here. It takes place in Canada during the fur trade of the 1700's. It follows Declan Harper (Jason Momoa) as he tried to make his living through the fur trade. He's an outlaw leading a campaign against Hudson's Bay Company, who has a monopoly on the fur trade. The company will literally do anything to maintain its stranglehold on the fur business and is out to get rid of Declan Harper. It's a very entertaining show that you'll have a good time watching.

I watched the first season (6 episodes) and it was entertaining enough so no regrets, but I think I'll move on to other shows. There's just not anything special about it.

The setting of British-Canadian fur trapper era is the most interesting part of it. Unfortunately the plot line is mostly the same old chase-catch-release with some interpersonal drama mixed in.

The writing and plot twists are all fairly obvious, nothing that really surprises and the romantic matchmaking can be seen from a mile away. The sets feel like they're on a sound stage about 80% of the time and the acting gets overly dramatic at times like watching a play.

It's one of those "pretty good" shows that are not quite good enough in the ocean of content that is now being made available.

Very enjoyable. I was pleased with just about everything. I understood going into it, it was not a History Course at some University. So the inaccuracy didn't bother me. This is not a Documentary nor is it given the loosely labeled true story. Another common criticism was their accents. I didn't care about that either, I'm no linguist. People need to stop expecting an education from Hollywood and just relax and enjoy.

Unfortunately like so many other series it was canceled and canceled without an ending. That's my biggest issue. So if you haven't started watching, don't. You'll be left unfulfilled.

The first couple of seasons are good but the third season is anticlimactic. Here are the issues I have with the show: 1.The episodes mention the location of every scene but you'll have no idea otherwise.

2.Jason Momoa as charismatic as he is offers no character development like all characters. He justifies his character, the same can't be said for a few others.

3.the accents oh my god, the accents. The Spanish sailer in the third season and the French broker have especially disappointing dialogue deliveries.

4. The third season sucked balls. That's all I can say without spoiling it for the rest of you. I was hoping for some sort of plot but they just seemed to be winging it like the good ol' bollywood movies.

Bottomline: it's good enough to Netflix and chill
